Even though some time has passed, the invasion of the free city by demons is still regarded as a hot topic after dinner by the ladies and gentlemen in the upper class. After showing the weapons left by the demons, they learned that the demons in this world are not just After being derived from fictional objects in myths and legends, many scholars have also begun to study mythological stories and classics that they once dismissed. Some even believe that according to the theorem that stories originate from life, no matter how they look Absurd myths and stories may all involve a subtle reality. Why do people imagine monsters like demons? Perhaps it was because they had seen demons that they passed down information through written language from generation to generation. .
However, compared to scholars who started researching with enthusiasm as if they were discovering a new world, the aristocratic young men and ladies in the upper-class areas fantasized about some romantic fairy tales from time to time, while the poor slaves in the lower-class areas in the free city had no idea about this. Interest, in their opinion, this city is a city of demons, and the rich and nobles who rule this city seem to be no different from demons.
However, one thing made the supreme rulers of the free city sit on pins and needles, because the appearance of the devil revealed that the gods were not false, and this forced people to consider not only their own fate while alive, but also their fate after death!
In this twisted city of Free City, there are countless businessmen and nobles who dare to say that their hands are absolutely innocent. Even the seemingly pitiful poor people from the lower class have more or less stained hands with sin. , just like how the outside world describes this city, this is a city of sin, a place of blasphemy that even the gods have abandoned.
Perhaps even Yunokia, one of the three giants, did not expect that after using light spells to baptize the entire city that night in order to deal with the demon lord, her actions caused the Holy See to gain a group of believers out of thin air, and Still very pious. Many people in the free city also began to privately pray to the goddess Ishtar, the only lord of the world, for her forgiveness.
Although the Free City is a city that even the Holy See cannot interfere with, unlike the devil believers, the Free City does not deliberately stipulate that religious beliefs are not allowed. After all, the merchants who trade here come from all over the continent, and as a monopoly on the entire eastern part of the continent Naturally, many of the followers of the Holy See of Religion are merchants. The Free City cannot restrict the entry of these merchants, nor can it cut off its arms to destroy the image of the Free City as a trade hub. The most it can do is to block the Holy See and disapprove the establishment of parishes and expel them. Those who openly spread the Holy See's beliefs in the city did not interfere much with the private religious activities of some businessmen.
But now because of the demonic invasion, it is obvious that the number of people who believe in the Holy See in the city has increased sharply. Although it does not threaten the rights of the top rulers, this is a bad phenomenon after all. If it is allowed to develop like this When the religious power reaches a certain level, the Holy See will inevitably intervene.
However, the upper-class rulers of the free city are helpless in dealing with this situation. They are accustomed to using money and power to solve problems. When some things exceed the limits of secular power, these powerful people do not know how to deal with it. .
Fortunately, Miss Eunocia, who was able to defeat the demon that night, said at the meeting that the easiest way to break this unfavorable situation is to prove one thing to everyone in the city, that is, God and The devil is not omnipotent. Money alone determines status in this city.
As for how to prove it, Miss Yunokia gave it a try and said it would be kept secret for the time being!
However, compared with the slight turmoil in the mood of the city residents caused by the invasion of demons, what really made Lawrence and Philibos, one of the top three giants, uneasy was the challenge from those below who were trying to take over. It’s a bit misty and I don’t know when the gods and demons in the free city will be completely liquidated. Compared with the Qugou rat named Claire who is allied with the demons and doesn’t know who is hiding in that corner, Crosay, the vice president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce. The pressing issue of virtue is the most pressing issue.
After winning over the president Lakshmi Mittal, Lawrence, who was the first to bear the brunt of the current chamber of commerce chairman, realized that he had underestimated Croside. This young man could always make a move ahead of him. Originally, he had underestimated Croside. I thought it would be easy to kill him with the cooperation of the president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, but now it seems that even if Lakshmi goes all out to sell out the interests of his chamber of commerce in order to keep his position, it will only make his own reputation more and more stinky. In addition, the checks and balances on Croseid can really only be described as minimal, and in turn, the call for Croseid to become the president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce is getting louder and louder.
Lakshmi, this poor guy, has almost no place in his own chamber of commerce. If the outside world and several large chambers of commerce hadn't kept sending blood to help him temporarily stabilize his position and let him still have some power, he might have been able to hold on to some power. He was kicked out by Croside.
Lawrence wanted to get rid of Closide no matter what, at least not to let him sit as the next chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. As long as he could sit in the position of chairman of the Chamber of Commerce for one term, he would have to introduce new regulations and restrictions in order to damage his reputation. Live in Closide, and restrain any evildoers below who dare to try to challenge the Big Three, but the problem is that there is not enough time!
And whenever he thought about this, Lawrence couldn't help but feel extremely anxious. Now he had much more chips than Closide, but he had a bad hand. Although Closide didn't have many chips, he kept good cards and seemed to have a lot of good cards. Even though he can see through the cards in his hand, his lagging behind in intelligence collection puts him at a disadvantage, and some method must be implemented here.
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
Everything is as expected by the Vice President!
Emma, who is located in the upper-class area of the Free City, stood out from many competitors at a young age and became the personal assistant secretary of the vice president of the prosperous Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce. With the rise of vice president Croside, Especially when it became clear that Closide had launched a challenge to Lawrence, the Chamber of Commerce Chairman at the top of the Big Three, Emma's worth also jumped up and became unattainable.
One person achieves the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven!
This sentence is also universal in other worlds, and Emma is not a chicken or a dog. Over the years, Emma has worked under Closide. Her strength not only impressed Closide, but also other people had to recognize her. With her vision and work efficiency, at least Emma's competitors in the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, those young and beautiful female assistants who have just graduated from the academy have to admit one thing, this one who is favored by His Excellency the Vice President Private secretaries don't get into positions with their butts. And if Emma, who originally had a very high level of business, could wait until the day when Croside became the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, then Emma would surely become the judge in the hearts of businessmen of all sizes in the entire free city, just like Lawrence's female assistant Ms. Kayman Susanna. , because a word from her mood may determine the value of her chamber of commerce in the eyes of the chamber of commerce chairman!
Various chambers of commerce and men who do not hesitate to eat soft food have begun to chat up Emma constantly, trying to use this investment to climb a big tree for the future. Although Croside is not the chairman of the chamber of commerce yet, if he waits until someone else really takes the position, he will start. Investment, I’m afraid the day lilies will be cold by then!
And now Emma discovered that just as the vice-president had expected, people had begun to monitor her near her home these days. As a female assistant, she had to pay special attention to detecting some subtleties at work, and for this reason I also developed a pair of discerning eyes. As the days passed, I found that the attentive men around me were becoming more and more enthusiastic. Some of them also had a strange look in their eyes. Recently, they appeared near my home from time to time. Some pedestrians also felt that their faces were unfamiliar inexplicably. They seemed to be just passing by, but they could detect some dangerous glances directed at their residence.
It is obvious that the three giants began to prepare to take action outside the mall after being unable to defeat the Vice President in the mall. The Vice President almost lives in the Chamber of Commerce, so they cannot find opportunities without leaving the door. As an assistant, I am the most suitable person to take action.
But how to do it!
Kidnapping and coercing yourself is a good way, but in this situation, let alone missing for a day, I am afraid that even being late for a while will make the cautious vice president suspicious. Emma was convinced that the possibility of kidnapping her relatives to threaten her was indeed much higher than kidnapping herself. Fortunately, her mother and sister had already started to leave the Free City three days ago. In order to avoid danger, they had to leave their hometown There is no turning back. God knows whether those businessmen will investigate her background and chase them all the way. Emma's only choice is to let her family find a strange place that no one knows about and temporarily hide her identity for a while.
"Hey~ I bought a big house at that time, but after no one lived in it, it felt empty and depressing." Emma was lying on the sofa at home and sighed as she looked at the deserted home.
In order to ensure that in case she fired her servants, the servants working in the upper-class area also knew the situation in the free city these days, and they understood Emma's dismissal very well. Even Emma felt that even if she didn't If you fire the other party, he will also find an excuse to leave in order to protect himself. However, the most tragic thing after the servant leaves is that because he has been busy with work for a long time, all his extremely skilled life skills have been forgotten. I just tried to do something I almost vomited myself during dinner.
"Sister, I've packed up my things and gone to bed first."
"Yeah~ I understand, Frank, the injury on your face doesn't hurt anymore, does it?"
Looking at her brother walking past the door, Emma stood up and walked over. Looking at the bandage still wrapped on her brother's face, she asked with concern. Now in this empty house, only her brother was left alone, so he could accompany her for a while. However, what is really unlucky is that my brother Frank was involved in the fire during the previous demon invasion incident because he went out for fun. As a result, his face was burned and he has finally recovered some. Because of the injury, only his brother could not Leave┉┉
Because┉┉because of the injury! Yes┉┉Because of the injury! !
Emma frowned and felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she suddenly realized that it was indeed because of her injury that her brother couldn't leave. However, for the sake of his safety, she recently decided to let him temporarily move to the college to be a boarder. In this empty home, in a crowded college, it would be difficult for Lawrence to do bad things.
"It doesn't hurt much anymore. Sister, I'm going back to the room to go to bed first. You should go to bed early too."
Frank nodded. There was no expression on his face under the bandage, as if he had lost human emotions and looked indifferent. After Emma nodded, Frank went on the road and entered his room.
Open the door, light the lamp, close the door, then take a deep breath and exhale heavily! Frank looked at the large and small bags of luggage placed in the room and stuffed the last book in his hand inside.
The soft but eerie voice of the demon master rang in Frank's mind. (~^~)
